Plate kinematic reconstructions available for the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous eastward
drift and counterclockwise rotation of the Iberian plate imply a major left-lateral motion of …

The architecture and tectono-magmatic evolution of the lithosphere of Europe are the result
of a succession of subduction, rifting and inputs from plumes that have modified the …

This contribution emphasizes first-order structural and metamorphic characters of
Precambrian accretionary orogens to understand the kinematics and thermomechanical …

This study provides an in situ geological perspective on fabrics produced by
synconvergence lateral crustal flow of hot orogens. It is based on the example of the …

In hot orogens, gneiss domes are a response to upper crustal stretching and lower crustal
flow. Two-dimensional thermal-mechanical modeling shows that localization of extension in …

The Variscan segment of the Pyrenees is well suited to study the timing of crustal-scale
deformations as crustal flow and gneiss dome formation. This has been constrained from a …

The present-day tectonic setting of the Western Mediterranean region, from the Pyrénées to
the Betics and from the Alps to the Atlas, results from a complex 3-D geodynamic evolution …

Laser ablation U-Pb and Th-Pb single zircon and monazite geochronology was applied to
seven samples from two Variscan gneiss domes in the central Pyrenean Axial Zone. Detrital …

Metamorphic Core Complexes form dome shaped structures in which the ductile crust is
exhumed beneath a detachment fault. The 3D dome geometry, inferred by mapping the …

There have long been controversies over the extrusion mechanism of the Sundaland, block
in southeastern Tibetan Plateau in response to the tectonic convergence, between the …
